Reciprocity and Examination Endorsement Agreement

The Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors has reciprocity agreements/examination endorsement agreements with many states. These agreements may allow the contractor to receive credit for the trade exam if the equivalent classification is held in the reciprocal state once the reciprocity requirements have been met.
